Tag: CodeAcademy

Yesterday, after a beautiful (and greedy) Christmas, I decided to start learning basic of new tech stuff. First choice was Python programming language because seems quite similar to Ruby, several friends are skilled and is widely used in Google and for Spark so is probably one of the best language to learn at the moment.

I’m quite fluent with Ruby, PHP and Javascript but I have no skills about Python. I choose CodeAcademy for a basic introduction and I’m at about 50% of the course. Here is what I learned by now.

Python is dynamic typed (you have not to declare it) and types are almost the same of Ruby and PHP:

I started a few hours ago and I’m just a newbie. I hope the rest of the course on CodeAcademy will teach me about more complex topics and, talking about real world usage, I probably need to learn how to handle version management and discover most powerful libaries. Anyway I can already say is pretty cool to program using Python 🙂
